All ceramic work fired in our Electric kilns is subject to a firing fee of 5 cents per cubic inch.
Firing Fee Forms will be given out the first day of class and picked up the last day of class.
Firing Fees will be calculated at the end of the class.

***New Clay Policy*** Please See Below*** 



  • There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.

    Members will have the $4 fee deducted from the tuition.
    A studio materials fee of $2.00 is included in the tuition.

    ***New Clay Policy***

     In an effort to be more economical and resourceful in our Ceramic Studio, we encourage our returning students to use their remaining clay from previous classes, and then to purchase their choice of new or reclaimed clay (when it is available) at the time of registration.

    New students MUST purchase a new bag of clay at the time of registration.

     

    New Clay: This is fresh, moist white clay with grog from Sheffield Pottery, Sheffield MA

    Reclaimed Clay: This is the same white clay but processed through the studio's pug mill. The pug mill removes air bubbles and mixes and extrudes leftover clay from previous classes. The resulting clay is of a smooth, workable consistency excellent for all projects.
